The examinations will run from 27 September until 30 October.
With O-Level examinations also under way, this is the first time in five years that the two major examinations are being held during the same period.
O-Level examinations, which were moved to the latter part of the year after five years, began last week. Around 10,000 students are taking part in the O-Level and A-Level examinations combined.
President Mohamed Muizzu wished students completing the final stage of their formal school education success in their examinations.
The President said higher secondary education was an important stage in shaping students' futures, particularly in determining the fields they choose to pursue in higher education.
“God willing, you will reap the rewards of the work you have put into preparing for the examinations,” he said.
The President also expressed hope that students would perform well and achieve results that would make the country proud.
Students were also given an opportunity to sit the A-Level examinations as private candidates earlier this year. Private candidates are required to pay the applicable examination fees.
